Ephesians 2

1 Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

Pea ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mate ʻi he ngaahi talangataʻa mo e angahala;

2 in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

‌ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai ʻi muʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻalunga ʻoe māmani, ʻo taau mo e ʻeiki ʻoe mālohi ʻoe ʻatā, ʻae laumālie ʻoku ngāue ni ʻi he fānau talangataʻa: (aiōn g165)

3 among whom we also all walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,

‌ʻAia naʻa tau fai fakataha ai kotoa pē ʻi muʻa, ʻi he ngaahi holi kovi ʻa hotau kakano, ʻo fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻoe kakano mo e loto; pea ʻi he ʻulungāanga ko e fānau ʻoe houhau, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kotoa pē.

4 but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mohu ʻaloʻofa, ʻi heʻene ʻofa lahi naʻa ne ʻofeina ai ʻakitautolu,

5 even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),

‌ʻIo, lolotonga ʻetau mate ʻi he ngaahi angahala, kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu fakataha mo Kalaisi, (kuo mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa; )

6 and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

Pea kuo ne fokotuʻu hake fakataha, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:

7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn g165)

Koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻe haʻu ke ne fakahā hono lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa ʻi heʻene angalelei kiate kitautolu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. (aiōn g165)

8 for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,

He ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa pe ʻi he tui; pea ʻoku ʻikai meiate kimoutolu ia: ka ko e foaki ʻae ʻOtua:

9 not of works, that no one may boast;

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue, telia naʻa polepole ai ha tangata.

10 for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.

He ko ʻene ngāue ʻakitautolu, kuo fakatupu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ki he ngaahi ngāue lelei, ʻaia kuo tomuʻa tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻaʻeva ai ʻakitautolu.

11 For this reason, remember, that you [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

Ko ia manatu, ko e Senitaile fakakakano ʻakimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ui “ko e Taʻekamu” ʻe ia ʻoku ui ko e Kamu, ʻi he kakano, naʻe fai ʻe he nima;

12 that you were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world;

Koeʻuhi ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻa mou masiva Kalaisi ai, ko e ʻāuhe ʻakimoutolu mei he puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau muli ki he ngaahi fuakava ʻoe talaʻofa, ʻo taʻehaʻamanakilelei, pea taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi māmani:

13 but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,

Ka ko eni, ko e meʻa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ko kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu ʻi muʻa, kuo fakaofi ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi.

14 for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,

He ko hotau melinoʻanga ia, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae ua ke taha pe, pea kuo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā vahevahe ʻi loto;

15 the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,

Pea kuo ne ikuna ʻi hono sino ʻae taufehiʻa, ʻio, ʻae fono ʻoe ngaahi fekau [naʻe tuʻu ]ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; ke ne fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻi he ua ʻae tangata foʻou pe taha, pea fakamelino ai;

16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,

Pea koeʻuhi ke fakalelei fakatouʻosi pe ki he ʻOtua ʻi he sino pe taha ʻi he ʻakau, kuo ʻosi ʻene tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae taufehiʻa:

17 and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,

Pea haʻu ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ofi.

18 because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.

He ko e meʻa ʻiate ia ʻoku tau maʻu fakatouʻosi ʻae hokoʻanga ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he Tamai.

19 Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ai ko e kau muli mo e kau ʻāunofo ʻakimoutolu, ka ko e kaunga kolo mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],

Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻae kau aposetolo mo e kau palofita, ko hono fuʻu [maka ]tuliki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi pe;

21 in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,

‌ʻAia ʻoku fehokotaki lelei ai ʻae fale kotoa, pea tupu ia ko e fale māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻEiki:

22 in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

‌ʻAia kuo langa fakataha ai foki ʻakimoutolu, ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he Laumālie.
